Support for Two Monitors

Post by Marc »

Hello,

I am a new user of MOHO.

It is a great product and very easy to use and it took only one afternoon to learn the basic features. I don't know if it was suggested before:
  • I use two computer monitors. I place the timeline and the popup windows on the left monitor and the main window on the right monitor. That works fine.

    All windows like Render, Preferences, Save File, etc. show up in the middle. This is bad if you have two monitors because the windows split between the monitors and you have to adjust the windows each time you call them.
    It would be great if at least the three mentioned windows above could remember their last position or could show up in the middle of main window (that contains the menu).

    Well and I do not ask for a function to direct the play output to a monitor of choice. This would allow to see the output on a broadcast monitor and would make MOHO even more professional.
Thanks for your great piece of software.

I use dual monitors as well.

You'll notice when you quit the program and open it back up that the windows get all jumbled on the first monitor and you have to reposition them everytime you open up the program as well. I usually do the same and have the output window in one monitor and the timeline and all the palettes on the other monitor so my artwork is as large as I can see it on the one.

I use nothing but dual monitors at work and I've seen many studios that work this way. It's a more cost effective way than buying something like a 30" widescreen monitor. Also 2 regular monitors actually gives you more space than one large widescreen one anyways.
